The Slimline Roll is a popular choice for office workers or for those using dining chairs whilst working from home. It is a very popular roll which has proven corrective qualities, relieving the pain and discomfort resulting from inadequate universal seating and assisting with postural maintenance.

All Signature Range lumbar rolls are made with superior injected moulded foam which retains its supportive qualities for an almost indefinite period.  They are crafted from the finest-materials, featuring a warm and luxurious suede-type fabric cover, complete with embroidery detail and removable, adjustable straps.

Back problems can develop from a slouched sitting posture. This lumbar support improves posture and ensures correct and natural positioning of the lower spine while sitting.

Research has shown that proper, regular use of the Original McKenzie® Lumbar Supports will help you eliminate most of the common back and related pains that develop as a result of postural stress.

Designed with your comfort in mind, for use at home, in the car or the office.

The Mckenzie Method Story

Robin McKenzie made an astonishing discovery early on in his career as a physiotherapist.

By placing a patient’s back in a controlled extended position, the patient reported their back pain beginning to disappear.

Knowing he was on to something, he started testing this with other patients, and got similar results.

After 10 hard years of collecting data, and 1000s of patient trials, Robin McKenzie introduced to the medical world proof of his discovery – they were shocked.

Robin Mckenzie

Introducing: The McKenzie Method.

Over the following decades, the McKenzie Method would turn into a global phenomenon, with Robin McKenzie becoming one of the world’s most renowned physiotherapists and the McKenzie Method being in use by tens of thousands of Physiotherapists worldwide.

But he needed a way for patient’s to be able to easily maintain this back position for longer periods of time. So, Robin had his wife, Joy, hand-make a prototype on his kitchen table, and the very first McKenzie Method lumbar roll was born.

In 1980, the first “Treat Your Own Back” book was published, allowing people experiencing back pain to treat their own back pain using the highly successful and proven McKenzie Method treatment techniques.

It has since sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

The new Signature Super Lumbar roll captures the success of that first roll made on Robin’s kitchen table, now with over 60 years of refinement and perfection – and still made in New Zealand.

Lower Back Exercises to Pair With Your The Mckenzie Lumbar Roll

Try these exercises in conjunction with your Mckenzie Lumbar Roll for best results:

An extract from the book: ‘Mckenzie Method Treat Your Own Back’

Lie face down (Position 1), and then place your hands under your shoulders in the press-up position (Position 2). Now you are ready to begin the exercise.

As you straighten your elbows, push the top half of your body up as far as pain permits (Position 3). It is important that you completely relax the pelvis, hips and legs as you do this, and remember to keep breathing normally.

Keep your pelvis, hips and legs hanging limp and allow your low back to sag. • maintain this position for a second or two, then lower yourself to the starting position. • repeat this movement cycle in a smooth rhythmical motion and try to raise your upper body a little higher each time, so that in the end your back is extended as much as possible, with your arms as straight as possible (Position 4).

Once your arms are straight, remember to hold the sag for a second or two as this is the most important part of the exercise. A more effective sag can be achieved by breathing all the way out while relaxing your low back, hips and legs. The sag may be maintained for longer than one or two seconds if you feel the pain is reducing or centralising.

Mckenzie Method Exercises
Empowering patients to treat themselves through the Mckenzie Method. Robin McKenzie is globally recognised as an authority on the treatment and prevention of back pain. His method of Mechanical Diagnosis Treatment is used extensively in more than 27 countries.

  1. Peter Hayes

    Highly recommend – I’m a smaller guy, so larger lumbar rolls never worked too well for me. This smaller SlimLine roll provides the perfect level of support for my back. I can sit for hours on end without feeling any pain or tightness in my back or legs.
